Linda Noskova and Jannik Sinner are the 2026 Wimbledon Champions!

In the all-Czech ladies’ final, Linda Noskova won the battle of the nerves that looked like until 6/2; 5/2 like a walk in the park for the youngest player of the two. And even though Muchova put on a heroic fight, won the second set after saving five match points, nothing could stand between Noskova and the Venus Rosewater Dish.
